World's greatest drummers take centre place in Cork photographer's new book

Cork-born photographer Deirdre O’Callaghan took pictures of some of the world’s greatest drummers for her new book, writes Don O’Mahony

“WE ALWAYS had music everywhere in the house,” says Deirdre O’Callaghan about growing up in Passage West near Cork City in a household of three music fanatic brothers and a sister who studied music in college.

At the age of 18, she moved to London in the late 1980s and soon gained experience as a photographers’ assistant, as well as working in labs.
